Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 16 March 2014, with nineteen electoral lists competing for 250 members of the National Assembly. The election was called early, after tensions in the coalition led by Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), who ruled the country since 2012. President of Serbia Tomislav Nikolić scheduled the election at the same time as previously announced Belgrade local election. According to the preliminary results based on 99.08% of counted votes, the turnout was 53.09%, with 3.22% votes invalid.

Serbian Progressive Party with minor partners won the election by a landslide, winning 48.35% of votes and an absolute majority of 158 seats in the assembly. Its former partner Socialist Party of Serbia with partners matched its previous achievement with 13.49% and 44 seats, while only two more non-ethnic lists surpassed the 5% threshold: the Democratic Party (DS) with 6.03% and 19 seats, and the list led by former president Boris Tadić with 5.70% (18 seats). A number of long-time parliamentary parties, notably Democratic Party of Serbia, United Regions of Serbia and Liberal Democratic Party failed to reach the 5% threshold.

Since the 2000 elections which followed ousting of Slobodan Milošević's government, no party has won an absolute majority in the National Assembly. Aleksandar Vučić, seen as the future Prime Minister, announced formation of new government by 1 May, and did not exclude possibility of forming a wider ruling coalition despite the absolute majority of SNS in the parliament.
